The modern elevator was invented in the mid-19th century. Although simple hoists had existed for centuries, the key breakthrough came in 1853 when Elisha Otis demonstrated the safety elevator at the New York World’s Fair. His design featured a mechanical safety brake that prevented the platform from falling if the hoisting cable broke.
